powerd 0.31, 1.8.2010

Short:        New powerful programming language v0.31
Author:       Martin Kuchinka (martinkuchinka@seznam.cz)
Uploader:     mark tbs-software com
Type:         dev/e
Version:      0.31, 1.8.2010
Replaces:     powerd.lha
Requires:     OS3.0+, additional memory, VAsm (included in archive), VLink (included in archive), ar (included in archive), A WebBrowser for documentation
Architecture: m68k-amigaos; ppc-morphos; ppc-warpup

  It is not a reworked AmigaE, it is completely new programming language,
which has only similar syntax to AmigaE. It is quite memory hungry, but
4 megabytes should be enough for larger projects. It can use linked
libraries and objects. It is free.

  See documentation or my homepage http://www.tbs-software.com/powerd for
more information.

  Currently it may have many bugs and it is not too "fool-proof". If You
want to be a betatester, please e-mail me, you will be welcomed.

  If you found some bugs or you have remainders or suggestions, please
e-mail me, opinions are also welcome.

  I hope You will use and like it.

PS: All help is welcome.

Changes since 0.30:
	- improved libgenerator for WarpOS and MorphOS
	- local lists now works correctly under PowerPC
	- fixed installation script

	Changes from 0.23:
	- preorpcessing recyprocal loop removed (caused stack over load)
		- new 'Out of stack' error message
  - '*xxx' in module takes relative path of the module, not of the source code, that opened the module
  - default values in procedure definitions can contain also constants, that are defined later in source code
	- removed binary module generator, binary modules still can be read...
	- added installation script for simpler installation/update
	- improved AmigaE support
		- doesn't show warnings for undefined return values
		- {a} is now correctly transformed to &a
	- "ELSE bla" isn't the same as "ELSE; bla" anymore
	- "e" works on immediate values
	- no more pasm/phxass, vasmppc_std/vasmm68k_mot is used instead
	- added partial MorphOS support (please don't use it yet, perhaps in next release)
		- binutil AR is needed for MorphOS shared library module compilation
		- cpu=mos is now recognised to produce MorphOS code
		- vasmppc_std required (instead of old pasm)
		- installer script will prepare all needed files to make the morphos support ready to use
	- docs - completely updated
		- added dirs.html, that describes all the PowerD directories
	- dbra 68k instruction is supported (=dbf)
